A vital piece of Broome's World War II history has been restored after spending nearly three decades exposed to the harsh elements of northern WA.
The Dornier flying boat engine has been on display at the Broome Historical Museum since the late 1970s, after it was retrieved from wrecks off the coast of Broome.
It is one of five Dorniers wrecked off the coast of the North West during the air raid of 1942, an attack on the port city that left 88 dead.
